Will this work on a red Tacoma ??

Now imagine doing that laying on your back. It took my entire vocabulary of four lettered words to get it done.
I could never replace old with old.

How do you say Spray Lubricante auf Deautch?

Pedro Fernandez says:

Did you get the chance of comparing the ride before and after?

Pedro Fernandez says:

Amazing after so many miles and those old shocks are still performing like new. Buying replacement OEM is so vital

Michael A says:

Copper anti seize compound works very nice on the bushings.

I have a 2007 4Runner Limited and it rides pretty rough (to what I'm used too), but I read that that's how they are unless you upgrade the shocks. I wanted to keep the lift and everything stock factory, but upgrade the struts and shocks for a smoother ride since I don't off-road with it. Any suggestions on which shocks/struts to use?

Barry Morton says:

glad you got electricity

Peter Rudy says:

2:37 Rubber sticking – Maybe to spray some type of lubricant to get the rubber to not stick – silicone or ?

352,000 miles on this made-in-California Tacoma.

if I were on the West Coast I would definitely bring my Tundra to you! So hard to find someone to trust, and I'm finding mistakes and stripped bolts and threads done by the dealer every time I (now) do my own maintenance.

BUT I would never use regular WD-40 on rubber or plastic. My experience is it degrades those substances. I'd use a different WD40 product, or Liqui-Fix, or lithium, anything but regular WD40 to be rubber safe. My 2 cents. Thanks for all you do!
